BAN THE MURDEROUS ASSAULT WEAPONS NOW!!!!

Once again, our beloved country wakes up to the senseless murders of innocent people. We have grieved for the slaughter of children in school, of college aged people during class, of people celebrating the joy of life at a nightclub, and now the murders of innocent people at a concert enjoying music by their favorite bands. Assault weapons were banned in 1994 but the N.R.A. pushed Congress to let the ban lapse in 2004. Since then we have witnessed slaughter after slaughter of people going about their daily lives. There is NO valid reason that anyone besides the military needs an automatic weapon! We need better background checks and a new ban on assault weapons NOW!! Please join me in signing this and making Congress pay attention to what Americans want instead of what the N.R.A. Pays them to do!!!
